Set sometime between 1763 and 1775, "Wieland" is narrated by Clara Wieland, and concerns the fate of her family and friends - her brother Theodore, and their friends Pleyel and Catharine. Clara is a woman born and raised into a secure world of enlightenment rationality. She is a model of Wollstonecraftian feminism - educated, astute, and benevolent

WHAT?!? You haven't read this book?!? It is considered the first American novel and Brockden Brown set the bar very high! Creative, mysterious, faithful and faithless. THIS IS A MUST READ!!!
